Interdisciplinary research: Integrates information, data, techniques, tools, perspectives, concepts or theories from two or more disciplines or bodies of specialized knowledge. Can be done by teams or by individuals. Advances fundamental understanding or solves problems whose solutions are beyond the scope of a single discipline or area of research practice. (U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine's report, Facilitating Interdisciplinary Research: https://www.nap.edu/catalog/11153/facilitating-interdisciplinary-research)
Term applied to a variety of situations, namely: subsistence farmers, tenant farmers, sharecroppers, slash-and-burn cultivators and functionally landless farmers (e.g. with insufficient land to support them and their families or without water rights). (UNTERM. nd. https://unterm.un.org/unterm2/en)
Acrisols have a higher clay content in the subsoil than in the topsoil, as a result of pedogenetic processes (especially clay migration) leading to an argic subsoil horizon. Acrisols have low-activity clays in the argic horizon and a low base saturation in the 50–100 cm depth. Many Acrisols correlate with Red yellow podzolic soils (e.g. Indonesia), Argissolos (Brazil), Kurosols (Australia), Sols ferralitiques fortement ou moyennement désaturés (France) and Ultisols with low-activity clays (United States of America).

Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit volume relative to pure water in reference conditions. Water potential quantifies the tendency of water to move from one area to another due to osmosis, gravity, mechanical pressure and matrix effects such as capillary action (which is caused by surface tension).
